ice climbing gloves for BIG HANDS
|
I'm getting ready for an ice climbing trip and I have a hard time finding gloves because I have big hands. The only stuff I can find will not last 2 days. any pointer is welcome! |

amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001N92T… Put layers of snowseal/wax on the gloves to prevent leather being soaked helps..... there are many other models, just search pigskin gloves on Amazon and many x-large are cheaper. I used to have 2 pairs that's way too big for me , wish I didn't give them away already....

Hey there fella...just how big are your hands? :) :) :) |

You might be fine with OR gloves. The thumbs are always huge on me. I have to shorten ever pair with a quick whip-stitch of some excess fabric but aside from that they...er...fit like a glove. But I suppose your post would have read "ice climbing gloves for BIG THUMBS" if you had wanted that advice. |

You know what they say, big hands, big feet...big shoes and gloves. |

I spent the past few years expirementing with gloves. Camp makes the gecko hot and g hot in 3xl, even though they aren’t a super warm the gecko are good for leading and they’ll stretch out after a few uses. Also Hestra makes 1 model, the heli ski glove in size 12, if you can find it. They are the warmest gloves I’ve ever owned and actually fit I used them 90% of the time on denali last summer.. |

Try OR Alibi gloves. Both The Alpine and IIs.. Those are the only XL gloves I’ve found that fit kinda loose. |
